Her husband Jon was constantly by her side. He cared for her around the clock for 20 years, from the day she was diagnosed to the day she left this world. NO HUSBAND ON EARTH could have done more than what he did for her. In the hospitals he was there almost 24 hours a day and learned more about her condition and the medicine she was taking than the doctors. He use to check and see what the doctors and nurses were doing and more than once he stopped them from making serious mistakes. After a while the doctors and nurses would come to him to ask questions. He was quite the husband.
She had a great sense of humor and liked to joke around. Every Christmas or for special occasions she would make just for me her famous chocolate cookies and mail them up to me. She was a great artist and loved to draw and teach my kids how to color and draw. I just wish we had lived closer. I will miss her dearly....
